Ning Fan I'd Rather Have Broken the Heavenly Laws

Chapter 139: Ning Fan: I'd Rather Have Broken the Heavenly Laws

"Husband."

Although Yun Qingyao did not know exactly what had happened, seeing Ning Fan lose his composure like this, she immediately stepped forward and pulled him into her embrace.

"It's alright. No matter how enormous the matter, Qingyao will face it together with Husband."

"Even death, together?"

Ning Fan's mouth twitched.

Yun Qingyao: "..."

Wait.

Was it really that serious?

"Husband, did you violate the heavenly laws?"

"I would rather have violated the heavenly laws..."

Yun Qingyao: "..."

Yun Qingyao was truly at a total loss. Just what had Ning Fan done to make him so distraught?

"Forget it."

Ning Fan gritted his teeth, throwing caution to the wind. So what if he had taken Lingxu Fairy's Maiden Essence?

So what!

So what?

"Wife, do you think there is any way for us to leave the Yin Yang Divine Sect immediately?"

Ning Fan stroked his chin, lost in deep thought.

Ye Honglian: "..."

One could not blame Ning Fan for being so pessimistic. This was not as simple as merely engaging in dual cultivation with Lingxu Fairy. Under normal circumstances, dual cultivation between disciples of the Yin Yang Divine Sect was no big deal. But clearly, Lingxu Fairy had been untouched.

Moreover, the "Ancestor" had forbidden Lingxu Fairy from dual cultivation. Even if Ning Fan did not know the exact reason, he knew his actions had ruined a massive scheme.

"What to do..."

Ning Fan brought his hand to his mouth, gnawing on his fingernails one by one as his mind raced to find a way out of this disaster.

"My only hope is that Lingxu Fairy wouldn't dare report this matter to the Ancestor."

Ning Fan muttered to himself.

The Ancestor that Lingxu Fairy spoke of undoubtedly held an extraordinary position in the Yin Yang Divine Sect. If that figure personally moved against Ning Fan...

Then ten thousand lives would not be enough for Ning Fan to survive.

That Ancestor had ordered Lingxu Fairy to protect her pure body. She had failed to do so, and regardless of the reason, she was also at fault.

Lingxu Fairy might not willingly confess to that Ancestor.

If Lingxu Fairy concealed it...

Then there was a way.

"..."

Ning Fan's thoughts gradually cleared. Assuming only Lingxu Fairy came after him, then he would not necessarily be walking a path of certain death.

Setting long-term plans aside, he could always flee into the Yin Yang Tower.

The Yin Yang Tower had limits on age and the number of entries. As long as he got inside the Yin Yang Tower, Ning Fan would be relatively safe during the period of the Peak Competition.

"Wait."

Ning Fan murmured to himself.

The Wushi Heavenly Palace was absolutely safe. Even though Lingxu Fairy had just noticed her surroundings, she had no idea exactly where she was.

Entering the Wushi Heavenly Palace required profound and mysterious footwork; Lingxu Fairy could not enter.

"I'll wait here for a few days. Just before the Peak Competition begins, I'll sprint all the way to the Yin Yang Tower. Once I'm inside, it's a success!"

Ning Fan muttered to himself.

However...

There was still one thing Ning Fan could not figure out. When he dual cultivated with Yun Qingyao previously, it was always Ye Honglian who came. How did it suddenly change to Lingxu Fairy?

What went wrong?

No matter how hard he racked his brain, he ultimately found no answer.

During those few days of waiting, Ning Fan and Yun Qingyao were not idle. The two continuously exchanged blows with the phantoms on the arena stage, even though they failed to clear the first trial.

Still, their combat skills saw a significant improvement. When it came to combat skills...

They were meaningless in the face of a fundamental gap in realm and absolute strength. But if realms and strength were evenly matched...

Then the side with superior skill would seize the advantage.

-It could not be overlooked.

"It's about time."

Ning Fan murmured to himself.

Calculating the time.

He confirmed that today was the start of the Peak Competition. Ning Fan and Yun Qingyao cautiously emerged from the ruins of the Wushi Heavenly Palace.

The moment their figures appeared at the foot of Changming Peak, Ning Fan instantly hunched over, sneaking furtive glances to his left and right.

-No one.

Ning Fan could not help but let out a long sigh of relief, the tension in his heart slightly easing. Now, they just had to walk from here to the Yin Yang Tower.

The Yin Yang Tower, despite being a precious artifact, had always existed as a physical structure within the Yin Yang Divine Sect, located precisely in the sect's rear mountains.

"We'll split up here."

Ning Fan said.

Lingxu Fairy's target would definitely be Ning Fan. It was not to say she would let Yun Qingyao off if they crossed paths, but her fury would surely be focused on him, paying far less attention to his wife. Furthermore, the two of them traveling together made for too large a target.

Moving separately was certainly the most sensible course.

"Remember, be careful of Lingxu Fairy. If you can avoid her, avoid her. As long as we enter the boundaries of the Yin Yang Tower, we've succeeded."

Ning Fan instructed.

"Mm."

Yun Qingyao nodded earnestly. If this was Ning Fan's arrangement, there could be no mistake.

Parting ways at the foot of the peak, one slinked away like a cautious cat, while the other skulked off like a thieving dog, both creeping stealthily toward the rear mountains of the Yin Yang Divine Sect.

At the same time.

Yin Yang Divine Sect, rear mountains, before the Yin Yang Tower.

The Yin Yang Tower was a colossal pagoda. A radius of three hundred meters surrounding it was entirely enveloped by a Formation. This Formation not only protected the Yin Yang Tower but also designated the active zone for the Peak Competition.

That was right.

The Peak Competition was not confined merely to the interior of the Yin Yang Tower. A specific area outside the tower was also part of the competition grounds.

The Yin Yang Tower was not small.

But to enclose all the qualified disciples from the five main peaks was still incredibly difficult. Even the vast first floor of the Yin Yang Tower could barely hold a thousand disciples shoulder to shoulder.

And Yin Yang Peak alone possessed well over a thousand disciples!!

A faint trace of Yin Yang Qi drifted around the Yin Yang Tower's exterior. Naturally, this Yin Yang Qi was far too sparse to support dual cultivation, but the disciples outside could refine it into their bodies. Over the course of half a month, one could absorb quite a substantial amount.

Returning to dual cultivate afterward would not be without its rewards.

At this moment.

Throngs of disciples gathered outside the Yin Yang Tower, arrayed into five great camps-Yin Yang Peak, Xuanpin Peak, Qihua Peak, Lingyue Peak, and Changming Peak. Their numbers were roughly equivalent, though Yin Yang Peak boasted the most, nearing two thousand.

Xuanpin Peak, Qihua Peak, and Lingyue Peak had slightly fewer, each hovering just over a thousand.

Changming Peak, however, had fewer than a thousand disciples in total.

Standing at the forefront of the five great camps were the five Chief Disciples. These Chief Disciples were not only exceptionally powerful but also served as the spiritual pillars for the disciples of their respective main peaks.

"Everyone, I am sure you are already clear on the rules of the Peak Competition."

"Fighting is strictly forbidden outside the Yin Yang Tower."

"Once inside the Yin Yang Tower, you may not leave by any means. If a martial cultivator sustains life-threatening injuries within the tower, they will be forcibly expelled by the Yin Yang Tower itself, immediately losing their qualification for the Peak Competition."

Ning Fan's acquaintance-Sixth Elder Yu Ji-was addressing the assembled disciples, explaining the rules in meticulous detail.

Even those who already knew the rules listened with rapt attention.

Terrified of missing a single detail.

Only a few disciples from Changming Peak appeared distracted, their gazes sweeping the surroundings in search of a particular figure.

Indeed.

The disciple upon whom everyone at Changming Peak had pinned their highest hopes-Ning Fan.

Had not yet arrived.
